Preparation and Insulation Property Studies of Thermoplastic PMMA-Silica Nanocomposite Foams

Poly(methyl methacrylate)-silica nanocomposite (PSN) foams were formulated for the comparison of the effect of vinyl-modified silica (VMS) and raw silica (RS) particles on cell structure, insulation properties, and insulation properties. It was found that those thermoplastic foams containing VMS particles had improved dispersion capability than those containing RS particles. The incorporation of VMS particles was found to reduce the cell size and increase the cell density of the ...
